Description

Origin: Washington, USA. Bred from Zeus, Nugget, and a number of USDA males. Introduced by the American Dwarf Hop Association in 2003.

Usage: Very high alpha levels make it an unparalleled bittering hop, but Summit™ is fully dual purpose. Summit™ excels as early or late additions in hoppy American-style ales, though it’s unique flavor and aroma can be love it or leave it for some.

Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Heavy and big, displaying signature citrus intensity (especially tangerine). In larger doses it can also have an earthy onion/garlic quality. Harvest conditions help determine the balance between its citrus and onion/garlic character.
